\"\"<\/a>Das wei\u00dfe Gold \u2013 Umwelt- und Sozialkonflikte um den Zukunftsrohstoff Lithium<\/strong> (Brot f\u00fcr die Welt, 2018)<\/p>\n

Lithium \u2012 das sogenannte wei\u00dfe Gold \u2012 ist f\u00fcr die deutsche Wirtschaft von enormer Bedeutung. Das Leichtmetall wird aufgrund seiner hervorragenden Speicherkapazit\u00e4ten zur Herstellung von Batterien f\u00fcr Elektrofahrzeuge verwendet. [\u2026] Weil die F\u00f6rderung von Lithium extrem wasserintensiv ist, sinkt der Grundwasserspiegel, angrenzende Fl\u00fcsse und Vegetation vertrocknen. F\u00fcr die indigenen Gemeinschaften vor Ort wird es immer schwieriger, ihrer traditionellen Lebensweise, die sich auf Viehzucht, Landwirtschaft und die Gewinnung von Salz gr\u00fcndet, nachzugehen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Time to recharge \u2013 Corporate action and inaction to tackle abuses in the cobalt supply chain<\/strong> (Amnesty International, 2017)<\/p>\n

This report builds on This is What We Die For (AFR 62\/3183\/2016), first published by Amnesty International and Afrewatch in 2016, which showed how cobalt mined by children and adults in hazardous conditions in the DRC entered the supply chains of many of the world\u2019s biggest brands. This report assesses the policies and practices of 29 companies and how much their cobalt-sourcing practices have improved since then. While there have been signs of progress by some companies, too many continue to lag behind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201eThis is what we die for\u201c \u2013 Human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo power the global trade in cobalt<\/strong> (Amnesty International, 2016)<\/p>\n

This report documents the hazardous conditions in which artisanal miners, including thousands of children, mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It goes on to trace how this cobalt is used to power mobile phones, laptop computers, and other portable electronic devices. Using basic hand tools, miners dig out rocks from tunnels deep underground, and accidents are common. Despite the potentially fatal health effects of prolonged exposure to cobalt, adult and child miners work without even the most basic protective equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>No Golden Future \u2013 Use of child labour in gold mining in Uganda<\/strong> (SOMO, 2016)<\/p>\n

A large number of children work in Uganda\u2019s artisanal gold mines. Of all the artisanal gold miners in Uganda, between 20 to 30 per cent are children. Some children (periodically) attend primary school whilst still working in the mines to pay for their education, clothes and books. Many other children work in the mines throughout the year and some even live on the mining sites.<\/p>\n

Gold mining is arduous work even for adults, but for children the conditions are even more unsafe, unhealthy and the exposure to hazardous and toxic chemicals, including mercury, can lead to life-long health problems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An Investigative Report on HEG Technology: A Samsung and Xiaomi Supplier Factory<\/strong> (China Labor Watch, 2018)<\/p>\n

HEG is a state-controlled company that supplies to brand companies, including Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi and TCL. CLW\u2019s initial investigation in 2012 into HEG uncovered major rights violations such as child labor, unpaid wages for student workers, and discriminatory hiring practices. Since CLW\u2019s initial report and subsequent follow up investigations, there have been a number of notable improvements at HEG. [\u2026] However, in some areas, HEG has regressed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Poisonous Pearl \u2013 Occupational chemical poisoning in the electronics industry in the Pearl River Delta, People\u2019s Republic of China<\/strong> (GoodElectronics, 2016)<\/p>\n

The Poisonous Pearl, the latest report from GoodElectronics, focuses on the experiences of (former) workers in the electronics industry in China who are victims of chemical poisoning. The health of all the workers in the report was damaged by exposure to hazardous chemicals such as benzene and N-hexane in their work. All were working in large or small factories in the Pearl River Delta-region of China, an area well known as being a global hub for the production of consumer electronics (ICT). Manufacturers based in this region supply components to international brand name companies such as Apple, Asus, Canon, Huawei, Nokia, Samsung and Sony, amongst others.<\/p>\n
